SAN ANTONIO — The Air Force said Wednesday it would dramatically expand its cyber mission in San Antonio, relocating up to 1,440 troops and civilian workers to the city this fall.

Joint Base San Antonio was selected to host three cyber protection squadrons and a command group to operate under the 24th Air Force, which is based at Port San Antonio.

Long home to the Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency, the city has evolved into a center of cyber and intelligence agencies that include the 24th Air Force, Joint Reserve Information Operations/Intelligence Center, the Air Force Electronic Warfare School and National Security Agency.
